Opinion: Is Kamala Harris' rise backlash against Donald Trump's misogyny?

LA Times  

Talk about delicious ironies. Barack Obama, during their 2008 rivalry, famously damned her with faint praise: “You’re likable enough, Hillary,” As that exit poll data indicates, Clinton’s groundbreaking candidacy was notable for not galvanizing women voters as much as it should have. She ruefully mused in her 2017 memoir that as she’d watched the massive Women’s March in Washington protesting Trump’s inauguration, “I couldn’t help but ask where those feelings of solidarity, outrage and passion had been during the election.” Time apparently has reconciled Clinton to her fate. In her convention address on Monday night, the serene elder stateswoman basked in her party’s adulation and implicitly took credit for helping to make Harris’ bid plausible: “Together,” she told her appreciative audience, “we’ve put a lot of cracks in the highest, hardest glass ceiling.” “Nearly 66 million Americans voted for a future where there are no ceilings on our dreams,” Clinton went on, not adding that her total was nearly 3 million more than Trump’s. “Donald Trump, the provocateur, the showman, may not win this election,” South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.
